A question to the round of readers in the UK with an official diagnosis/self-diagnosis/waiting diagnosis for Autism/ASD/HFA/Aspergers (I have after a very long wait been diagnosed as having ASD).
Do you feel that for you personally formal support has become better, worse, easier or harder to access? By support I mean understanding, tolerance, acceptance by colleagues, direct supervisors, managers, HR, job interviewers, PIP assessors, benefits deciders. I do not include informal support from friends, family, charities or your local community.
It's not been any better for me where I am. I read all the time there's going to be more support but I haven't found any yet for my autism. I live in hope though.
